Bert,
I guess from my experiance. I agree with you, as well others that new user need some guide . It is hard to follow threads all over the place, and sometimes change to different subject. In think,it is easiervto expand the forums to include one for Network and Connection, Workflow and productivity, Forms, softwere, How to navigate AC and so forth. Then a new user can look into the subject where he needs help and follow the threads in that particular forum.
That is just one simple way for new user to follow and to get help.
